Hawks vs Ess on now.  Ess are rubbish.  No system at all.

Eagles vs Tigers on later. - Hope tigers lose so more likely to miss the double chance of a top 4 finish.

 
 

I reckon we might have shot ourselves in the foot by losing badly last week to the Dogs. We need to atone on Saturday as we could be gone if the Dogs beat the Cats and we lose.

 

Yes I hope hawthorn win but both sides skills are well down.

They have a bad percentage. A loss today is almost the end of any finals chance

They drew with GC so percentage is irrelevant (unless they're competing with Collingwood/ Richmond for a spot). But they are a mile off being a finals side regardless.

Is it bad that I enjoy essendon losses almost as much as melbourne wins?

When I saw the fixture had us playing Dogs and Saints back to back I said to myself we needed to get a win out of one of those two games. I just don’t see us being able to win the last four on the trot to make the finals. It requires a level of concentration and focus I just don’t think our squad has. 

Beat the Saints and I think that leads us into finals. 

I hate the Hawks and Bombers, but I’m quite happy to see Hawthorn winning. 


Where’s the popcorn??

the bombers are a rabble! It is so sweet

their season is over


I think we can take some comfort int he fact that no matter who wins this game, nobody gets to go home feeling like they matter.

My two most disliked clubs and they are both in the levitating potato category.

Also, doesn't matter for finals if Essendon win, because either we'll beat them and end the story that way, or we'll lose to them and the rest is dust anyway.

Hawthorn are dead set tanking.

Again?  But wait, they didn't tank last time they tanked.

Essendon will pass us tonight if they go on to win, but before this board goes berserk at that fact, bear in mind that they're struggling against Hawthorn, a bottom 4 side, and their next three games are against West Coast, Geelong and Port.

Not sure they're tanking.

They're three games and percentage behind 17th with 4 games to play. Which means they'd have to win them all to get off the bottom.

Which wouldn't happen even if they tried, so they should really be going all out to beat Hawthorn next week or, better for us, GWS or Carlton their following two games.

Adelaide Tanking is giving some young kids a run. Whether they win or not is irrelevant

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
